Following in Joey Barton’s footsteps with a loan move to Marseille, Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher endeared himself to his new teammates in the global language of television theme songs.
Made to sing at a team dinner as an initiation to the group, Fletcher stood on his chair and got everyone clapping along as he rapped the theme to the Fresh Prince of Bell Air, even acting out the lyrics as he went.
In moments like this, DJ Jazzy Jeff must look down from heaven and smile.

They should stop filming the next James Bond film and make one about Steve Mandanda instead.
